Hello
The engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

I DON;T KNOW. CALL FOR FREE ROAD SERVICE
IF YOU HAVE THIS TYPE OF CLUB MEMBERSHIP.
SERVICE MAN MAY DO A QUICK CHECK.
USE LOAD CELL TO TEST BATTERY.
CONSIDER CLEANING BATTERY CONNECTIONS. COULD BE STARTER. TRY JUMPER/ BOOSTER STARTING TO SEE IF HIGHER VOLTAGE
MIGHT WORK. CONNECTION AT THE STARTER FROM BATTERY COULD BE LOOSE.

Engine wont start back up

This is a strange one that might not be easy to find. My ball park guess is that you have an ignition or ignition relay problem. See if jiggling the keys while starting helps this. I don't think that the amount of time you are waiting really has any bearing on this problem. Other problems could be a grounding issue, starter, maybe battery or alternator.

Reinstalling the distributor can be tricky due to the worm gear. Did you verify that the rotor points to the #1 terminal when piston #1 is at tdc? Can you check the timing with a light?

Check the plugs and see if they have fuel on them if not check the catalytic converter it could be plugged and putting back pressure on the engine and not allowing the fuel into the cylinders. Can you spray fuel into the throttle body and get it to run. If so you may have a fuel pump problem or fuel filter issue. I am betting on the cat. you can pull the o2 sensor ahead of the cat and the engine should run if it is plugged. It will run rough but at least it should start.

Wow! Sounds like multiple problems but the back window popping open is probably the Body Control Module. Could be loosing ground at the body straps or positive from the battery cable connections during cranking?

1997 bravada wont start

Hook fuel pressure gauge up to port near firewall. A battery charger sometimes boosts the vehicle voltage just enough to engage weak fuel pump. Should show 50-60 lbs all the time while cranking when not starting on battery.
